Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of Everton starlet Kieran Dowell on a season-long loan.

The 19-year-old attack minded midfielder has already trained with the Reds, after agreeing to join Mark Warburton’s Reds for the coming campaign.

Dowell was part of the England squad that won the Under-20 World Cup this summer and is highly regarded at the Goodison Park club, where he has made two Premier League appearances, both towards the end of the 2015/16 season.

He made his Everton debut as an 87th minute substitute, replacing Barkley in a 2-1 home win over Bournemouth in April 2016. He then started the Toffees' final game of the campaign against Norwich City, also at Goodison Park.

Forest have high hopes of their own for players like Zach Clough, Ben Osborn, Barrie McKay, Matty Cash, Toby Edser and Ben Brereton, with more experienced figures like David Vaughan and Chris Cohen on hand to help guide their development.
